I just went "all in" in my commitment to set up a MegaSquirt system on my car.
I sold my Rogue tuning "M-tune" kit so I have no choice now.

Cleaned up engine bay.
Put some new heat shrink on the grounds where the old was crumbling
Did some painting while things are apart.
And the engine is getting bigger.

I have replaced every single seal, gasket and O-ring on the motor. Hoping for a clean garage floor moving forward.

I put back on the head and some other parts so its getting bigger.

Tomorrow I plan to put the cams in and possibly the belts.

Tested some of the connections for the bixenon HID projector headlights. They are MUCH brighter than the stock lights.

The last picture is similar to the look I hope to achieve.

ebay. Less than $70 bucks total.

The vendor was http://www.ebay.com/usr/hsjd99?_trks...10.m2749.l2754

Projectors. They look good but included 0,zip,nada,nothing in the way of installation instructions.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/271497426147?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
Xenon HID bulb, ballasts, etc. I got 5000K temp/color. It is a little whiter than stock but not obnoxious. They seem to work well and the quality seems good. Time will tell. Instructions included. written by someone who took an english class from a third rate school in China.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/271498993805?_trksid=p2059210.m2749.l2649&var=570333722511&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

I plan to do a full write-up on the process of installing them.

Are they completely sealed? It looks like there's an opening but I'm not sure.

I am going to have to figure out a way to seal them completely. There are several openings I have to deal with. I have some ideas I am working through.

Here is my idea for the finished look.

I'll make it easy for you to avoid doing anything to your car. Any money you were planning to spend on it, send it to me to cover the cost of the euro bumper cover and rear spoiler that are on their way from the UK. I never would have incurred that expense if I hadn't seen your car so you are welcome to pay for them.

My Money = --> your fault
